Abstract
o método é realizado para produzir continuamente um gás metano liquefeito (lmg) a partir de uma corrente de alimentação de gás metano misturado pressurizado liquefeito. ele é particularmente bem adaptado para uso em uma instalação de produção distribuída de lmg relativamente pequena, por exemplo aquelas variando de 400 a 15000 mt por ano, e/ou quando a corrente de alimentação de gás metano misturado tem uma ampla faixa de proporções de teor de nitrogênio, incluindo nitrogênio estando substancialmente ausente. o conceito proposto pode também ser muito útil no projeto de instalações de média escala e/ou larga escala, incluindo aquelas onde o teor de nitrogênio sempre permanece acima de um certo limiar. os métodos e arranjos propostos aqui podem mitigar perdas de gás metano quando se exaure nitrogênio, por exemplo na atmosfera.The method is performed to continuously produce a liquefied methane gas (lmg) from a liquefied pressurized mixed methane gas feed stream. It is particularly well suited for use in a relatively small lmg distributed production facility, for example those ranging from 400 to 15000 mt per year, and / or when the mixed methane gas feed stream has a wide range of content proportions. nitrogen, including nitrogen being substantially absent. The proposed concept can also be very useful in the design of medium scale and / or large scale installations, including those where the nitrogen content always remains above a certain threshold. The methods and arrangements proposed here can mitigate methane gas losses when nitrogen is exhausted, for example in the atmosphere.
